The Natwest Series
4th ODI
England v India
The Oval, London
Another dark and gloomy day here at the Oval as England face India in this crucial match for both teams. England are second in the points table with six points, while India are bottom with just two points.
Conditions: Cloudy, Cool, and a very a good chance of some rain, though there is a strong wind pushing the clouds fast, and even if it does rain, it shouldnt a long shower, but a short one. Lets just hope we dont have an abandoned match today.
Pitch: A beautiful wicket, with something in it for both batsman and bowlers. However, it would be favourable to bowl first on this wicket.
Toss: India won the toss, and the captain Saurav Ganguly surprisingly chose to bat first. We'll have to wait and see whether or not this gamble pays off.
Teams: England - Just one change, Trescothick returns to the side after missing the earlier games through injury.
India - Saurav Ganguly is back into the Indian side, after missing the Australia match at Taunton.
